Dana White’s Contender Series cards see prospects fighting for the opportunity to sign a UFC deal, with UFC president Dana White on hand to make the decisions.
Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series 37 event was simply amazing.
While the cards usually feature five fights, a late scratch to a planned heavyweight matchup of Lukasz Brzeski (8-1-1) vs. Dylan Potter (10-5) was scrapped due to COVID-19 protocol, leaving the event with just four contests. Promotion officials say they hope to rebook the fight later this season.
Despite the trimmed down card, five deals were awarded at the conclusion of the night.
JUST. LIKE. THAT. WOW!
